Dr. Joy Mwendwa

Dr. Joy Mwendwa

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Centreville, VA


I believe counseling should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the clients I work with are navigating important life transitions—work, school, marriage, family relationships, cultural identity, leadership stress, faith questions, or the pressures of professional life. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including professional women, TCK, MKs, PKs, Ministry families, African and Black and brown families, diaspora families, international professionals, and people who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process.

My goal is to create a space that is both compassionate and practical. I want clients to feel safe bringing their whole story into the room—faith, culture, family dynamics, and personal struggles—while also leaving sessions with tools that help them grow and move forward. Whether we are working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or life direction, I approach therapy as a partnership where we work together toward healing and clarity.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Charlottesville, VA


Hi, I'm Stefanie, and I'm so glad you're here! In my work as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I value creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, empowering, and tailored to you! Through my experiences, education, and advanced fellowship training, I've gained insightful experience working with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate trauma, life transitions, and challenges with anxiety and depression.

Using multiple approaches including EMDR, IFS (also known as Parts work), CBT, attachment and somatic-based interventions, we'll work together to better understand your unique experiences as we build meaningful pathways towards lasting change.

Therapist

I affirm your effort to care for your self by seeking the support of a counselor. My work is guided by a profound belief that you have a natural impulse toward self-healing/self-correction when you are adequately supported. I seek to make a genuine connection with you because the therapeutic relationship is key to catalyzing healing change. Through experience, I have come to believe that patients can not only reduce their symptoms, but heal and thrive.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Virginia

Searching for therapists in Virginia starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs. Virginia has a wide mix of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available options can vary by location. You may want support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Virginia therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, experience, and what sessions may look like.

Practical fit matters, too. Whether you are looking for therapy in Virginia Beach, Richmond, Northern Virginia, or a smaller community, consider whether in-person or virtual care works better for your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and scheduling options in one place.

The cost of mental health care in Virginia varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from appointments that fit your schedule. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapists in Virginia, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you are ready.
